A hilariously heart-warming picture book celebrating

families that come in all shapes and sizes!

One dog… SO many ducklings!

When one little dog finds himself becoming Dad to a flock

of ducklings, it leads to hilarity, mix-ups … and a lot

of love.

Out for a walk, Ralph the dog stumbles across an egg. Of course,

he decides that the best thing for him to do is walk right on

by. But, CRACK! the egg hatches, right then and there!

What’s inside? A very cute, very fluffy little duckling.

And though Ralph isn’t sure he wants a duckling,

the duckling is definitely sure it wants Ralph!

A laugh-out-loud picture book exploring what it means to be

family

Gorgeously written and illustrated with heart and humour by

Lorna Scobie

Inspired by a real clutch of ducklings who decided Lorna’s sister

was their parent!

This book is perfect for fans of Jon Klassen and Chris

Haughton
